The Origins of Cooldaddy Media
Cooldaddy Media began operating in 1985 as a music fanzine,
Cooldaddy. Published by Stuart Coleman's Zebra Tone Inc. in the Shenandoah
River Valley, the zine covered the college music scene.
Two digest and two tabloid issues were printed with a circulation of 1000 per issue. The magazine was produced on a Radio Shack Tandy 1000 computer with a dot matrix printer for copy. All headlines were set with dry transfer Letraset lettering. Halftones were shot with a stat camera and most resizing was performed with the magic of xerography.
Before Cooldaddy Media
Before the college heydays there were the high school salad days with the punk rock sensibility of the McLean Free Press, a pseudo-intellectual, anarchist high school paper published by Cooldaddy founder, Stuart Coleman, and notorious multi-media recluse, Gary Ream, now of Hands of Time Fame.
